 DDR400   
The New Platform

SPD Results

Those are the settings that the modules came up on the Intel Platform if the memory was run strictly at "By SPD" settings. Once again, in alphabetical order:

Two of the Corsair modules, despite being labeled as PC3200, that is the XMS3200 and the XMS3206 Platinum Series came up by default as PC2700 or DDR333 modules, the XMS3202 further had some missing data in the SPD programming. None of the modules showed as CAS-2 DDR400 modules. Unfortunately, none of the Corsair modules' SPD conformed to the module label, with the caveat that Intel may be wrong (just like Jerry Sanders said). In any case, SPDs are one thing, real world performance is another issue altogether.
